They're here! They're here! Last Saturday Papa Goose brought the family by to meet me! Yippeee! I ran out to our nearest garden center and purchased some "proper" goose food. Thank you to the very kind, Lorna Appleby, for informing me that bread is Bad for Geese. It makes them anemic and they can die!
These photos were taken from my living room window. I didn't want to scare them and I didn't want Papa goose to attack me for being to close to them.
"See what Papa does when you're being naughty? Your two Peeps have to sit in Time Out over there."
"You Peeps still have two minutes."
"How many more---?"
"You still have one minute. Oh good grief, go back to your Mama and eat your breakfast!"
Happy Friday!
xx, Michelle, Harrington, Hannah, Mama and Papa Goose and the Peeps!

They are sooo sweet! I hope you're able to get more pictures as they grow. :)))))
Ahhhhhh. They are just the cutest peeps ever.
How wonderful and how cute! Yes, we want to watch them grow up, so keep taking those photo's.
Awwwwwwwwwww, what a cate little family! Which reminds me, I need to go eat some breakfast. Happy, hoppy weekend! Give H & H some hugs and smooches from Auntie Jade, and your nephew sends nose bonks and bunny kisses to his beloved Auntie Shell.
Dang it, that was supposed to say "cute"! (This is why I need the breakfast--the brain just isn't working!)
What great photos! We have lots of geese here by the river and I like to walk down by the Fish Hatchery but at this time of the year the geese don't like seeing me and really "yell" at me.
Just adorable!
At my parents home, years ago, there were ducks that would nest year after year in the rose bush beds. My kids (2 & 5yo at the time) were thrilled and delighted to see Grandpa gather the little ducklings in a box and then chase down the mom. We "launched" them a few blocks away at an inlet creek near their home. I should find those pics! This brought back wonderful memories... thanks, Shell. Happy Weekend!!!
Oh I just love it and them peeps are just sooo cute!!!
think you have yourself a friend there with that family and I bet you could go near them as the father trusts you!!!

Those little goslings are so cute!!! I love this time of year when all the little babies come out! Have a great weekend!
Love seeing your geese family :-)
What is in the proper goose diet? Inquiring minds...
Cute story Shell!
Loris - You can pick up wild duck/goose food at Petsmart. I'd imagine other pet stores would also carry some in the bird section.
Those goslings sure are cute little fluff balls! Thank you for sharing, Michelle!
So very cute! Thank you for sharing. Thanks Lorna for the good information.
Just gorgeous Shell. How lovely that they all came to visit you. Hugs,
That's so sweet the geese return with their little family
Hi shell, Oh my ,,, what an adorable family. Thats so awesome they visit you, but her sounds like you feed your guests well! :) I love the post below and your latest interior design. Its really very pretty.
I hope you have a great weekend! (()) Gail
Ma nature, it doesn't get any more special then being able to be a part of it. Thank-you for sharing this special moment with the rest of us:)
Aren't they adorable!!! I didn't know bread was bad for them....I'll remember that, thank you Shell!
Oh my - special. They WILL get big you know. (Thank goodness the Moose did not show ... yet!)
oh that's adorable, what lovely photos and how sweet to have them visit your garden like that!
So sweet...and what fun to have the opportunity to feed and watch them the next few weeks! blessings, marlene
Just so perfect and sweet. Their little hiney's are begging to be tweaked. I know Papa wouldnt allow such things but I wish...
Oh, thank you for sharing them! You know you have a sweet spirit when wild animals trust you enough to bring their babies to meet you! :)
Hi Shell, Your family is so cute and especially to bring them so close to the house. They seem to sense when they are somewhere they won't be bothered. The babies are precious. Hugs from your Missouri Friend.
Hi Shell:
You're so good to your geese! It will be fun for you to watch them grow up (even if your yard does get a little...ahem...messy).
Happy Weekend!

Oh those are just too cute. See there ~ I knew they'd be back.
Just a little hint ~ you may not want to be wandering your yard barefoot this summer. HA
Awwww! How wonderful to be visited by geese! I hear them at certain times of the year as they are flying by enroute to their next home for the season.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful photos. Ellyx
Adorable! We actually had ducks at our old house and it's bringing back memories of baby ducks and my kids when they were little... sigh. xo
When the kids were little, we had a couple of geese. They were fun, but were always trying to bite the dogs tail....grin.
These are really beautiful. I didn't know about the bread either.
Hi,
I happened to find this awesome blog and followed it!
Was hoping that in return you would check out and follow my blog.
Thanks!

This is so very cool!! Hooray for fuzzy butts!!
The "no bread" is also applicable to ducks as well. We give them cracked corn (found in any pet store) when we feed them.
Oh, wow!!! So cute - you are a lucky girl to have this family living so close to you!!! Kris
What a beautiful little family! The babies look so soft....
Hi Shell,
What a darling little family that has come to pay you a visit.
Love the sweet little goslings and will be so much fun watching them grow and play.
Hugs
Carolyn
